Seeing Qiu Dezhu taking out the knife, the faces of the villagers blocking the door changed. Many people took a few steps back. Ma Zhiye pointed at Qiu Dezhu and shouted: "Qiu Laoquan, I think your family was so poor back then.
We are starving to death. Our whole village, old and young, kindly took in your family and allowed you to settle down in Xiaoling Village. Now this is how you repay us?"
"Pooh!"
Qiu Dezhu spat on the ground: "You old bastard, don't think I don't know. Back then, you didn't want my family to settle here, but you only agreed because you coveted my mother's beauty.
Don't think that I didn't know anything when I was young. You took advantage of my father to go hunting and harassed my mother several times. My mother kicked you out all the time. You didn't stop until my mother died of illness.
Besides, we don’t live here in vain. Every year, people come to buy things. Our family pays a lot more animal skins, herbs, and grain than other families, but the amount given to us is the least.
You guys have been working together to bully our family for so many years. Have we said anything? Now when something bad happens, you are the first to come to us. You really think we are easy to bully. Old Man Ma, believe it or not, you have made me anxious.
Kill your whole family?"
"What... OK... OK..." Ma Zhiye was furious, pointed at Qiu Dezhu and shouted: "Did you see it? Folks, you have all seen it. What I said, this family is nothing.
Good thing, all our good intentions were fed to the Saramon (an animal from another world, very similar to a pig), so everyone asked if we should drive them out!"
"Get out!"
"Yes, drive them all away!"
Encouraged by Ma Zhiye, more than a dozen villagers shouted loudly, waving their hands one by one, and squeezed in, quickly surrounding Qiu Laoquan and Su Tong.
When Su Tong saw this, he couldn't help but feel a little frightened. He clenched the machete at his waist with his right hand, but he made up his mind. If these people really dared to rush over, he would not be polite.
"enough!"
An angry shout suppressed the shouts of everyone. It turned out that it was Qiu Laoquan who had spoken.
He glanced at everyone with a pair of sharp eyes, and there was a hint of fear in the eyes of everyone who was looking at him, and then he said: "Ma Zhiye, the reason why you are doing everything possible to cause trouble is not just to force our family to move out, so that you can occupy us.
The more than 20 acres of fields that my family has worked hard to cultivate over the years. Since I have talked about this, I will make it happen for you. As long as you give me the money for 20 plants, I will sell all those fields to you. You see
how?"
"What?"
"Dad, no!"
Ma Zhiye and Qiu Dezhu exclaimed at the same time, but the former looked happy, while the latter looked unwilling.
"Dad, that's not possible. Without those fields, what will our family eat?"
"Shut up, I have my own opinion." Qiu Laoquan glared at his son, who could only shut his mouth honestly.
"Qiu Laoquan, this is what you said. Everyone in the village, old and young, heard it. I didn't force you."
Contrary to Qiu Dezhu, Ma Zhiye's face showed joy. The land owned by Qiu Laoquan's family is a good paddy field. If they really want to sell it, they can sell at least fifty plants. Now Qiu Laoquan only wants twenty plants. That's a lot of money.
It’s as cheap as grandma’s house.
"I keep my word. Whoever brings 20 plants, I will sell the field to him. For ten baht, I will also sell him the house. Since we are not welcome here, then we can just leave." Mr. Qiu
Quan said coldly.
"This is what you said, we didn't force you." Ma Zhiye was overjoyed. If there weren't so many people, he would have laughed out loud on the spot. For fear of Qiu Laoquan's return, he immediately asked his mother-in-law to go home and get the money.
, and then wrote a sales contract. The two signed and fingerprinted it in front of the whole village, so that the contract was officially effective.
But no one noticed that Su Tong's eyes were widened than bells, because what he saw was that what Ma Zhiye handed to Qiu Laoquan was actually a yellow-orange thing. If he saw it right,
If so, this thing is actually gold.
After both parties signed the contract, Ma Zhiye waved the contract and said proudly: "Qiu Laoquan, your house is mine now. Don't say, fellow countrymen, that I won't give you face. Your whole family will have to move out tomorrow.
Understand?"
"You don't need to worry about it, we will leave on our own." Qiu Laoquan replied coldly, and then went back to the yard. Seeing that there was no excitement to see, the villagers dispersed one after another.
"Dad...how did you..."
After entering the courtyard, Qiu Dezhu had just closed the courtyard door. Before Qiu Dezhu could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Qiu Laoquan.
"Dezhu, Dezhu, hurry up and pack your things. Let's leave as soon as it gets dark."
"Let's go...where are we going?"
Qiu Dezhu couldn't help but said: "Dad, we have so many things, how can we pack them all in just a short while? We..."
Before he finished speaking, someone pressed his shoulder, and Su Tong said in a deep voice: "Brother Dezhu, listen to your father, pack your things and leave immediately. Don't forget, today we killed Ma Zhi
Ye's son, he just came here to cause trouble in his son's name. In fact, he didn't know that something had really happened to their son. Once it is delayed until tomorrow, he will definitely doubt us when he finds out that his son is missing. At that time, even if we want to leave
It’s difficult.”
"Well, this Brother Su Tong can understand it better. If you, a bastard like you, are half as smart as someone else, I would be relieved." Qiu Laoquan looked at Su Tong, then at his son who had just suddenly realized it, and sighed secretly in his heart.
However, he still explained patiently.
"Although Ma Zhiye is nothing, they can only cause trouble in the village at best, but don't forget that most of the people in this village are named Ma. If Ma Zhiye finds out that his son died in your hands, guess what?
, what will they do?
Is it possible that you want to kill all the people with the surname Ma? Although the government does not care much about killings, if too many people die, they will not sit idly by and explain to you what to do? Go up the mountain and let the grass fall.
?”
After being scolded, Qiu Dezhu lowered his head and said nothing, looking honest.
Just when Qiu Laoquan was instructing his son, Qiu Dezhu had already packed up several packages and put them in the living room with quick hands and feet. It could be seen that she was a diligent girl.
"Dad, should we leave now?" Qiu Dezhu asked.
"No, we will leave after dark. If we leave now, wouldn't it be the same as telling Ma Zhiye that we should run away overnight?"
"But... isn't it too dangerous to walk at night?" Qiu Dezhu hesitated. This world is different from the earth. There are poisonous insects and beasts everywhere. The danger of walking at night is much greater than on the earth.
Qiu Laoquan asked back: "Do you want to be in danger if you leave at night, or do you want to be beaten by more than a hundred people in the village tomorrow?"
